Why am I not Producing the Results I Expected?
So you are working
out in the gym 3x a week, you are reading the workout books,
taking advice from personal trainers but getting frustrated
because you just are not seeing the results you expected to
see after 3 months hard graft.
Well I have one word
for you, PROTEIN. In fact let me say it again PROTEIN!
PROTIEN! PROTIEN! Keep that word fixed in your mind because
that is what you are lacking. Not only are you lacking
protein, but you are probably not eating your protein at the
right times. Here is a free dietary plan to help you get the
protein you need, when you need it. This high Protein diet
will increase your body’s lean muscle mass and give you
increased power in the gym:
|
Breakfast
- 8am
Egg
whites - 4-8 (start at 4 and increase the
amount slowly over a period of a
month)
Porridge
(if you need to have sugar make it brown
sugar)
|
|
11
am
Protein
shake
|
|
Lunch
1-1.30pm
1 can
of Tuna (Buy tuna in spring water). Eat with
a large jacket potato
|
|
Pre
Gym snack - 5pm
Banana
¼ of
a Protein shake
|
|
Post
workout
The
remaining ¾ of your Protein shake - It is
essential that this is consumed within 15
minutes of finishing the workout; this is
when the body will absorb the Protein to its
fullest ability.
|
|
Dinner
2x
Grilled Chicken Breasts with salad; use a
tad of Olive oil on the salad mixed with
lemon juice, pepper and a touch of
salt.
|
|
NB:
If
you are still hungry between meals then eat
an apple (preferably a
Cox‘s
apple) to fill the hunger gap.

So, what Protein
shake should you use? You need to use a Protein shake that
uses quality whey protein that can be easily absorbed by the
body. Many cheap whey shakes on the market cause stomach
upset and are no good for the lining of your stomach. There
are some great protein supplements available at Netrition,
they only stock quality and have special offers if you buy
in bulk. I personally opt for the EAS products because I find them easily
digestible and have never experienced any negative effects
on my stomach. Netrition
Happy training
